Yet another reason to like him.

'sokay, he is also still breathing.
Yes, all that is true. I am a huge Type O fan, mainstream folks really missed out. Black Sabbath meets the Beatles.
But come on, I am Catholic. I know what some of his crap was about, he was actually a smart avowed atheist, it was brought up in almost every interview. He wrote about it, just so many lbs of meat, right? I never expected him to come back, but he did.

I thought of you reading that headline posted here!

You haven’t lived until you’ve seen him sing ‘Vengeance Is Mine’ atop a 20 foot ladder, and at the end of the song, he points at the audience and screams “REPENT”.
It was epic.
I am limp.
:D
That was my first thought, as well.
I know he’s sponsored a youth ministry for teens for a while now.
I think he was kidding himself.
Several of his songs dealt with his mother’s ongoing suffering agony and in my opinion, that is where his “atheism” laid.
Not true atheism, frustration over not being able to help her.
The most poignant song would be “It’s Never Enough”.
Not gonna post a link here as it really a man screaming at God for not easing his mom’s pain.
And he was a total momma’s boy.
Read the lyrics to “Nettie”.
I never bought into his oh-so-rebellious atheist drivel.
I don’t believe he did, either.
He was just mad at God.

Most ironic and funny, he’s a Sunday school teacher at his church.
[does he say “School’s out” every time it’s over?]
That title scared me
bump
I met him in the early 1970’s. He was a genuine, down to earth person then. Not a prick, not arrogant, not “too good” to mingle with “common folk.” The stage act is pure act. Glad to read about his faith.
My Dad said the same thing. He ended up being seated next to him on a cross-country plane flight in the Seventies. At first he cringed, wondering what was going to happen sitting next to a shock rocker, but my Dad told us that Cooper turned out to be a very nice person and they talked together for most of the flight. Cooper told him straight out that the whole shock rock thing was an act and he wasn’t like that in real life.
Scared me too. So glad he saw the light. God bless him....;)
You had the paddles charged up, I hope?
:D
Not a bad golfer either.
Unlike other bands [AXL/DC *cough cough*] when their front man died, they did not replace him with some also-ran.
There will never be another voice like his.
Although The Bronx casket Crew singer is passable.
Imagine my reaction.

I see the Admins changed it, thank Mod.
[too late for *some* of us, though] >.<
We’d had have FReepers dropping like flies, all night.
:D
